Sunny City

It has been a while since I posted, but here is another abstract city. Made with a palet knife and acrylic paint on canvas. 50x70 cm.
I made this when my friend Stephie was here in August. We had lots of fun experimenting.

Red Passage

It's almost all done with a palet knive. I first put all the patches with different colours down and then devoeloped it into this abstract scene of a city and water.
Acrylic canvas is 80x100 cm, 32x40".

Achlum, Friesland

This is a view in a little village called Achlum, Tanjabuurt.

Acrylic, 50x70 cm, 20x28 ".

Exhibition

Yesterday I hang the paintings for an exhibiton in a homecare called St. Jozef house.
The paintings are from members of the artgroup I join in the winter season.

The exhibition started June 15 and will last till October 15, 2011

At least the people in the homecare had really possitive feedback and enjoyed the paintings.
Ofcourse there are a lot of people visiting their mum or dad who have to stay in there because they can't live on their own anymore. Which means a lot of views

3 of my acrylic paintings hang there. Totally there are 26 paintings hanging.

for some sales.

Scottisch borders

The painting is totally from imagination.

Friesland, dorpje Schalsum,

Once in a while I paint something else then abstract, so 2 paintings of a village nearby.
A part of Schalsum and the Schalsumer windmill, which is outside the village.
I see those views daily when I walk the dog.

Journey

I actually was painting a sky here, but when I turned it around I saw parts of a ship and a sail.
I developed the painting further as an abstract boat.

Acrylic on canvas, 50x70 cm.

Peace-Purple

I still continue with abstract paintings as well as watercolours.
The abstract painting is good for my mind.
It almost feels like a meditation if I worked on one for a few hours.
I'm still unsure about the title, but the colours in this one give me peace, while there is still movement in the painting.

I started some paintings, but couldn't finish them earlier.
This is one of Italy where I had a fantastic Holiday in Barga, Tuscany with my friends Cathy and Stephie.
Acrylic on canvas, 50x70 cm.

Sea Life

It has been a while since I posted, due to a hectic and emotional time.

This first abstract is a result of those emotions. Painted in one night.

The blue represents Peace, Tranquility, Calmness, Loyalty.

Finally finished this acrylic on canvas of the old cityhall in Franeker, built in 1591.

Today I finished a small landscape in acrylics, 30x 40 cm/12x16".

Behind that high dike is the sea.
